10 WWE Superstars That Would've Thrived In The Hulkamania Era
3. Nia Jax
We've already discussed how The Boss would've been a good fit in the 80s, whether she donned the tights or not. The second female on this list, however, would have needed a physical outlet in order to make her impact, but given her look and size, the female with the most potential to shine during the era of Hulkamania is Nia Jax.
We all know how Vince McMahon loves his superstars to be "larger than life", and not necessarily just in a metaphorical way. He loves talents that are physically impressive; the bigger, the better. While the women are often overlooked when it comes to this known McMahon stigma, history supports the idea that female athletes benefit from this preference just as much as the men. Take a look at Bertha Faye, Bull Nakano, Chyna, and the short-lived Kharma.
In the mid-to-late 80s, Nia Jax would've definitely been put to use by McMahon and made into a huge star. Jax would've been a dominant stand-out (think a female Brock Lesnar, circa late 2014).
While she's still impressive today, Nia would've been seen as a wonder 25 years ago - and might've beaten Chyna to the moniker of "Ninth Wonder of the World".
